There have been some lisp dialects that combined the IDE with the language
similar to what smalltalk does. 

With respect to coding in lisp, the combination of emacs and SLIME is a very
nice environment. I believe there is also a project that is developing
integration with SWANK (the lisp side of the emacs/slime combination) to VI, so
that you can get a similar integration, but with VI as the front end
editor/driver
